Talk about a story which is popular in your country When did it happen and why, Why is it popular, How do you feel about it?

• As we flip through the pages of a newspaper every morning, we come across many true stories.
• There are many true stories associated with history also.
• Same is with my country.
• Today I am going to talk about a real story of freedom of India which was told by my grandfather to me when I was a child.
• It started almost 300 years ago when the British came to India for business purposes.
• They become so successful with their anti Indian policies that they started to rule the country.
• The Indians were made to work like slaves and had to pay more taxes.
• They assassinated many innocent people.
• Many massacres like Jallianwala bagh took place in the whole nation.
• Finally, the Indians rose against all this.
• Many revolutionary organizations were developed by the youth and on the other side, Mahatma Gandhi was supporting the non- violence and was doing processions against the British government.
• Many people were killed during the processions and many were arrested or sentenced to death.
• But with their great efforts finally India got freedom on 15th Aug 1947.
• This story is still popular in my country because this story is related to our country's past and to future.
• Today we are proud of our martyrs who did not care about their lives for the sake of their country.
• Now we are living in an independent country.
• This is only because of them.
• The freedom we enjoy today is because of the sacrifices of martyrs like Bhagat Singh, Tilak and so many more.
• Today I can say that I am proud to be an Indian.
